Chapter 331: A Painful and Difficult Choice
The three of them came to Uncle Zhao's house, and a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old was standing next to the sickbed, secretly wiping her tears.
"Jingjing, how is your grandfather doing now?" asked Goudan as he stepped forward.
The girl called Jingjing is the eldest of Uncle Zhao's youngest daughter's family, and their family lives in Dashan Village, and almost all of the work of taking care of the two elderly people is done by their family.
"Brother Dogdan, Brother Big Niu, Grandpa, he has been unconscious, I'm afraid, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay up for long!" Jingjing looked at the old man on the bed, tears falling from her eyes.
The dog and the big cow sighed lightly, and a person who was healthy not long ago suddenly became like this candle in the wind, and the world was impermanent!
"What about your father and brother?" Da Niu asked aloud after looking around.
"My mother was taking care of my grandmother in the next room, and my father and brother went separately to inform their relatives at home. Jingjing replied.
The two looked at the door next door, and secretly said in their hearts that the house leak happened to rain overnight, Uncle Zhao's wife has never been in good health, and this time he suffered such a major blow, I am afraid it will make it worse.
Squeak ~~~
As he spoke, the door of the next room opened from the inside, and a woman with a washbasin stepped out.
The woman looks to be in her thirties, and there are some similarities between her eyebrows and Jingjing, obviously she is Jingjing's mother, that is, Uncle Zhao's youngest daughter.
"Aunt Mei, is the eldest lady okay?" said Goudan with concern.
Zhao Mei's face couldn't hide the haggard look, but she still smiled reluctantly: "It's just an old problem, and now it's better after taking the medicine." ”
Even if they didn't see Uncle Zhao's wife with their own eyes, Goudan and Da Niu could expect that the situation of this old man, who had been hit hard by illness and suddenly, would not be optimistic.
"Aunt Mei, take care of your body!" Da Niu held back for a long time, and finally only said such a shriveled sentence.
On the ground, Zhao Mei saw Xuanwei behind the dog and the big cow, she hurriedly put down the basin, and pleaded sincerely: "Xuanwei Daoist, the dog said that you may have a way to let your father hold on for a little longer, our family really has nothing to repay the Taoist, but please also ask the Taoist to have mercy and mercy, so that my brothers and sisters can finally see my father!"
While speaking, Zhao Mei knelt down towards Xuanwei, and Jingjing next to her also knelt down when she saw this.
Xuan Wei could understand the mood of being a relative at this time, and he immediately spoke: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, do your best!"
Zhao Mei's mother and daughter were overjoyed when they heard this, and made another big gift, only then were they helped up by the two of Goudan and Da Niu.
Xuan Wei came to the bedside and stretched out his hand to diagnose Uncle Zhao's pulse.
After a few seconds, Xuan Wei slowly withdrew his hand and said in a deep voice: "I am terminally ill, and my manpower has been exhausted." ”
Although he had already expected it, Uncle Zhao's situation was far worse than expected, his vitality was gone, and he was able to survive until now, completely supported by an obsession.
In this case, let alone another day or two, it may be difficult to get through tonight!
When several people in the room heard Xuanwei's diagnosis, they all showed disappointed looks, even if they also planned for the worst, but deep down in their hearts, why didn't they have a trace of luck and expectation?
"There are two plans here in the poor road, and you are the daughter of this uncle, so please ask the layman to make a decision. Xuanwei pondered for a moment and raised two fingers.
When Zhao Mei heard this, she said solemnly: "Daoist, please speak!"
"The first plan, Poor Dao immediately administers the needle now, stimulates the little vitality left in Uncle Zhao's body, and makes him sober up. Xuanwei pulled out a box of stainless steel needles from his sleeve, which he had bought at the pharmacy the last time he went to town.
Xuanwei's voice was silent, but it fell on the ears of Zhao Mei's mother and daughter, but there was a deafening feeling.
Uncle Zhao has been in a coma for a long time, and there is no sign of waking up, so he may not be able to explain a word of aftermath until he dies. However, Xuan Wei was sure that Uncle Zhao would regain consciousness, how could this not make Zhao Mei excited?
"However, Poor Dao must first remind the layman, this method is like returning to the light, and Uncle Zhao who has come to his senses only has about ten minutes left at most!" Xuan Wei emphasized.
Zhao Mei's eyes showed a thick gloom, and she said with difficulty: "However, in this way, brother and sister, they won't be able to catch up!"
It is true that Zhao Mei hopes to have the opportunity to have a few words with Uncle Zhao at the end, but once she agrees, it also means that her brother and sister will not be able to see each other for the last time.
"The second plan is to temporarily block the vitality in Uncle Zhao's body and delay the passage of vitality as much as possible. In this case, it should be able to make him hold on for an extra day or two, but on the contrary, it will be difficult for Uncle Zhao to wake up at that time. Xuan Wei said quietly.
Zhao Mei bit her lip tightly, the two options given by Xuan Wei could not achieve both, choosing either plan means giving up something, and it is undoubtedly a painful and difficult choice for those who need to make trade-offs.
Everyone remained silent and did not interfere with Zhao Mei's choice.
"Daoist Xuanwei, please help my father hold on for a while longer! My parents gave birth to our children, and my brothers and sisters are usually not at home, although my father didn't say anything, but I know that my father actually misses them very much! If when my father passed away, there was only one child by my side, I guess he would feel lonely when he left!" Zhao Mei said abruptly.
Of the two options, Zhao Mei chose the latter, preferring not to have the opportunity to listen to her father's final explanation, but also to let the brothers and sisters who came on the way to see each other for the last time.
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable, Poor Dao understands! Without further ado, Poor Dao will start to administer needles now!" Xuan Wei said.
Opening the needle box, Xuan Wei carefully sterilized the stainless steel needle with alcohol cotton, twisted a thin needle, Xuan Wei reached out and groped Uncle Zhao's head, and gently pierced the fine needle into a big hole.
Not long after, a box of stainless steel needles pierced all over Uncle Zhao's body, which at first glance was quite shocking.
After the needle was completed, Xuan Wei reached out and probed Uncle Zhao's snort and heartbeat, because the vitality was blocked as much as possible, Uncle Zhao's snort and heartbeat at the moment became very weak.
"Dao Chief, give you a towel, you wipe your sweat!" Jingjing saw Xuanwei put away the needle box and handed over the towel very carefully.
Xuanwei didn't refuse, picked up a towel and wiped the fine sweat oozing from her forehead.
Without the assistance of the Hope Qi Technique, and the loss of eyesight, relying on experience and feel alone to perform this kind of acupuncture is definitely not an easy thing for the current Xuanwei.
"Uncle Zhao won't be in a big deal for the time being, be careful not to move these needles. Xuanwei put down the towel and reminded loudly.
